Since my last post I've been very busy. I moved to Edmonton and I've been having to cook for myself, which I'm beginning to enjoy. Above is a Thai curry I made.
Bagel sandwich
Cornbread and tea.
Nectarines and persimmons.
The most exciting new experience of the summer was getting my first tattoo. I love how it turned out and I'm very happy with it.

Hello fellow readers,
It has been awhile since I've updated my blog so I figured its about time. Unfortunately the only thing I've had on my mind lately is something that happened this past Friday night.
It has been awhile since I've updated my blog so I figured its about time. Unfortunately the only thing I've had on my mind lately is something that happened this past Friday night.
I was at my friend Rory's house with some pals. It was a nice evening full of laughs and very few mosquitoes (surprisingly). Its about 10:30pm when my phone rings. Now I LOVE when my phone rings because it rarely does, and its always a nice surprise. This time (little did I know) it was not a nice surprise. I pull my phone out of my pocket and the caller ID read "Ewan Toronto" (aka my ex's toronto number). For the 2 seconds before I answer my mind races with all the possible reasons for him to be calling me considering he HATES my guts and refuses to talk to me..."maybe he's had a change of heart and wants to be friends", "maybe he's calling to tell me to stop trying to talk to him", or least likely "maybe he wants me back". Of course it was none of the above. It wasn't even him on the line. It was his friend, drunk, and wondering how I am. WHAT THE FUCK? Was my exact thought. He tries to start up a conversation with me about how life is and such. Then he says "Do you want to talk to Ewan?" Now, first of all, this is one of his best friends, so he knows that Ewan does NOT want to talk to me. So I said "He doesn't want to talk to me." But he kept insisting even though I kept saying no. Now You're probably thinking "Anna, how dumb are you? Why didn't you hang up?" well...I DON'T KNOW. Something just kept me on the phone...and maybe it was the drinks...but it was something. Finally Ewan grabbed the phone from his friend, having no idea who was on the other end. He said "who is this?" so I responded with "who's this?" "Ewan.." "Oh I'm sorry...its Anna" "Oh uh..sorry for waking you at this late hour. Jay was supposed to call Judy for a ride. We're wasted." "I wasn't sleeping..." "Well bye" *click*. So ever since that night my mind has been going crazy. I should just forget about it and move on. I don't know why this is becoming increasingly hard for me. I tried moving on by seeing other people, by spending time with the girls and other friends...and it was working. I just feel like that phone call has brought me back to where I was a few months ago. Feeling super crappy. Mother fucking ex's ruining my nights...NOT EVEN ON PURPOSE! What are the chances?

Beautiful words of Omer B. Washington
I've learned
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. I've learned that it's not what you have in your live, but who you have in your life that counts. I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes, after that, you'd better know something.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do. I've learned that it's not what happens to people, it's what they do about it. I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you'll see them. I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.I've learned that there are people, who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it. I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance same goes for true love.I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgive by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief. I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I've learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life. I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I've learned that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I've learned to love and be loved.
I've learned.

This weekend I...
I went to the Fort McMurray Christian School Gala, where I met this hilarious man who was hosting it and I also got to wear that beautiful "life jacket" made out of balloons. After the Gala my dad and I watched Fargo..which was amazing.
On Saturday I watched Barton Fink...I love John Turturro so much.
On Sunday Kevin, Mike and I went on a nature hike.
I thought this was a perfect bench for thinking and pondering...maybe even making out on if I were into that kind of thing...GROSS.
I really appreciated this sign because I think its really rude when people drive in the trails...they are for walking and biking...cars go on the ROAD.
After the walk and some food we unwound by playing on the park.
Kevin biffed really badly when he was jumping off the swing...those wood chips sting.
